Abstract
This paper presents a commentary on a method for testing the DC critical current of Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconductors up to 1, 000A. For direct current superconducting applications, Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconductor is the most popular material of many superconducting materials. The DC critical current is the most significant property in practical superconductors, and the establishment of this test method will contribute significantly to popularize superconductivity. Additionally we are anxious to make an immediate publication of this test method as a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) that corresponds to international standard IEC 61788-1, and to utilize it extensively.
